<p>The federal constitution guarantees which of the following rights to person arrested and charged with a serious rime?
other two are obvious.
then there's this one that stumps me
III. To compel witnesses in their favor to appear to testify if the case goes to court</p>

<p>I think III is not true. can't 'compel'</p>

<p>It's B....</p>

<p>for the FDR question, i think B as well but i am looking at A and pondering...i need clarification for why it isnt A. (or why it is)</p>

<p>nope III is right. if you're on trial you can subpoena someone to compel them to appear in court because of the 5th or 6th amendment. (i forget which)</p>

<p>Yea, you got me on that...</p>

<p>I think it's because during GD, the whole country was having a hard time. Not just northerners. And the farmers were hit even harder by the depression.
Also the party realignment happened bcz of Great Depression.
Herbert Hoover wouldn't spend any gov't money.</p>

<p>5th amendment.</p>

<p>It's not A because Southerners were aligned with the Democrats since the Republicans advocated abolition in the 1860's and the realignment didn't happen until the Dems began supporting civil rights in the 1960s</p>
